I’m curious how much this has changed since the last poll I seen for this, please boost!

What’s your age range?

I'm suing to force the UK to allow nonbinary people to be legally recognized as such, starting with me. The trial is in 25 days.

I need £97,334 to cover estimated costs — anything I don't raise I will have to pay out of pocket.

Donations from outside the UK are welcome!

If you’re British, you might want to sign this.

If you’re not, please boost.

The current Prime Minister was not voted in, and he’s making a lot of decisions that will harm most of the UK; everyone will be affected. Time to call a general election and let the public decide for better or worse (harder to imagine the latter tbh)

Chrome: We're automatically opting you in to a new feature that sends your home address to advertisers but puts little asterisks over parts of it, and we're calling it Ultimate Privacy Protection

Firefox: We're encrypting every step of the DNS and HTTP connection process so nobody on the planet can know what you're doing online, because fuck anyone who would want to know

These two are not the same and should not be regarded as equals

I'm extremely sad and angry at the felling at #SycamoreGap, and will probably do another thread on that, but would just like to take a moment to appreciate Simon Heywood's poem and how it ties into the #folk tradition of rage and protest

If you help to run a convention, either as staff or as a volunteer I need your help! I have been given the rare opportunity to present at LoNAP's 25th anniversary, and my chosen topic is "What it takes to run a convention". If you have any interesting insights or anecdotes, please let me know! I have just under a month to prepare.

Post-Self is free for the rest of the week! https://itch.io/s/103433/skunks-etc

New position statement from a large cross-section of the #OpenSource community (including both @osi and @fsfe) with final comments about what's wrong with the #CRA - tl;dr:

"legal responsibility should only be on commercial entities supplying the software in the course of a commercial activity"

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it'll look like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

1. Go to your device Settings
2. Press on "Google"
3. Press on "Ads"
   • While you're here, press on the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
4. Press on "Ad Privacy"
5. Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure they are all labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot.)

If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.
